Hey All,

G. Fred and Teresa Asbell are working on a new lightweight belt axe and they're looking for feedback.        

By the way - we are planning on more than one kind of sheath for the axe so if you have sheath ideas please share those too.              

Some specs so far:

1095 Carbon Steel

Hardened and Tempered

Prrox. 10 1/4" long

Blade Face 2 1/2"

Each one is hand made so no two of these will be exactly alike.

Everyone should expect the same quality as you've seen in our GFA knives.

Thanks in advance!  We will pick a winner in a couple weeks or so.

Wow, what a great gesture and idea.  Definitely will help, me when I down one of the big trees I usually never miss.

Sounds like a tools that could come in handy use!

That looks fantastic! Sure handy.

I like it and that is very generous of the Asbell's

Looks very nice.  I like the dark color.  A dark colored sheath would match it well

That looks pretty decent!

Nice looking axe. Looks practical. Maybe a leather sheath with a shoulder strap ( for those who have no outside belt to use). The strap could also have a strap to go around the chest area for more stability.

Looks good to me. Would certainly come in handy.

That's an awesome little axe!

Very cool, definitely like the shoulder holster/Sheath idea. Would like to see one double bladed instead of the flat edge. Also maybe extend the metal past the bottom of the handle by an inch with a hole so we could attach  a leather wrist strap?

Nice!  Looks strong enough to do some decent chores and blind building but light enough to carry well over a long hike.  

A shoulder strap/sheath would definitely be the way to go that you can wear across our body opposite your quiver.  

The back edge could have a wider section or small hammer poll for striking maybe?

Awesome little axe! will work good on these Texas Cedars and Mesquite's!

I definitely like the shoulder strap/sheath idea.

Looks very handy and easy to carry!

Looks nice! I like the idea of a shoulder strap sheath too.

I love their knives and wool

Love the look and size of it.

That would be nice for field dressing all the trees I kill.

It'd would be perfect for brushing in tents for turkey or deer, or just brushing myself in when sitting on the ground.

Great looking camp axe!!!! I sure would be interested in so nice and made in America.... hard to find these days. A gentleman I know makes some very nice revolver holsters and a few of them can either worn on a belt or you can buy yhe extra rig to shoulder carry it which I think we be a great option as not every instance does one ...... more practical as situations change depending upon what your doing.
